According to ticket marketplace Vivid Seats, the 49ers Faithful will be in attendance in Philadelphia for Sunday’s game against the Eagles in significantly larger numbers than they were for the NFC Championship Game in January.
It won’t be the takeover seen in Los Angeles in the team’s Week 2 win over the Rams or the sea of red seen in the 49ers’ comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it will be 30 percent more its redder than the fateful title game 10 months ago.
Vivid Seats’ proprietary algorithm predicts that 28 percent of the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday will be cheering on the 49ers, with 72 percent rooting for the home crowd. In January, only 19 percent of the audience supported the 49ers in their final playoff game, which sent the Eagles to Super Bowl XLII.
Sunday’s contest is considered one of the most sought-after 49ers-Eagles games in nearly 10 years and is the hottest NFL ticket for Week 13, with per-seat prices significantly higher than any other game on the schedule.

While Philadelphia is known for its raucous home crowd, many of the faithful are ready to brave not only the Eagles fans, but the elements as well. With temperatures around 50 degrees, the chance of rain is high according to the forecast, but since the competition also includes the NFC’s top two seeds, the game should be worth it.
